Answer:

$\frac{29}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

So, just find the slope of (-5,-20), (9,9)

$slope (m) = \frac{y}{x} \\\frac{9-(-20)}{(9-(-5)} =\frac{29}{14} \\$

Answer:

29/14

Step-by-step explanation:

9- -20 / 9 - -5 = 29/14 a parallel line will have the same slope so. 29/14

What is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to the line...

Dominik [7]

Answer:

D) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

The line: $y=\frac{3}{4} x+3$ has a slope of $\frac{3}{4}$ as it is in y=mx+b form, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Since the slope is $\frac{3}{4}$ , we see that the negative reciprocal slope is $-\frac{4}{3}$ , as $\frac{4}{3}$ is the reciprocal (flip the numerator and denominator).

From here, we can use point slope form: $y - y1 = m(x- x1)$ , where $(y1, x1)$ is the point. In this case, (3, 1) is the point.

Thus, we have: $y-1 =-\frac{4}{3}(x-3)$ as our final equation.

Simplifying: $y-1 = -\frac{4}{3}x+4$

And: $y=-\frac{4}{3}x+5$ , which gives us the y-intercept to be 5.

Let me know if this helps!
